    The first x-rays

    The first x-rays
    a German physicist named William Roentgen discovered the x-ray by using tubes similar to flourecent light bulbs.

  • RadioActivity

    RadioActivity
    Henri Becquerel started experimenting with minerals in the flourecent bulbs of the x-ray and discovered radioactivity.

  • Radiography Society established

    Radiography Society established
    The American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) was established which lead to new scientific developments.

  • The First use of artificial radioactivity

    The First use of artificial radioactivity
    At the University of Berkeley in California scientists preformed the first clinical treatment using artificial radioactivity.

  • First Ultrasound

    First Ultrasound
    First ultrasound preformed in Poland.

  • The Tomography Method

    The Tomography Method
    Scientist Kuhl develops the SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography) and PET (pisitron emission tomography) method

  • The First MRI Image

    The First MRI Image
    The first MRI is preformed on a patient at a clinic in England.

  • CAT SCAN

    CAT SCAN
    Robert Ledley invents the CAT-SCAN producing a more detailed image compared to an x-ray.

  • Radiation Concern

    Radiation Concern
    A big concern errupted with x-rays and people getting exposed to radiation.

  • Removal of film

    Removal of film
    because of such advancements in technology radiography film will no longer be used and everything will just be digital images.
